Forgiveness (a poem for J)

I am young and need
to remember
you are young and need
to understand
if i fail to reach that point of forgiveness
at the same time that you reach that point of forgiveness
will you wait for me


the drums whisper in the distance
the wind carries their hymn toward me
at once, i taste the wind and feel the drum


which came first, the drum asks
the wind owns the rhythm

we are that drum
we are that wind


together they examine our evolution 


who cares who reached out first


the question becomes 
can we let go


the drum begs us to dance
the wind encourages us to live


I am young and need to remember
you are young and willing to teach


let's learn
let's sing
let's dance
let's forgive
